Wow! I'm amazed by how you're able to make time to cook, practice piano, and exercise; your life is so much more organized and balanced compared to when I was an undergrad at uchicago
aw haha thanks oliver!!! i really do not have it together though- school here makes life pretty difficult to balance! also, i’d love to hear about your undergrad experience/post grad life!
@@stephranaway Haha your video suggests otherwise! And sure! I had such a blast that I'm actually still around as an mdphd student, happy to share my experiences
hey amruta! thank you so much!!!:) i remember how much i learned from you in cell bio and really appreciate it! loved the class so much that i decided to become a Lab TA for the class this year!
nd i’m so sorry about not posting:(( i’m new to youtube (as you can probably tell lol) so i feel like my ideas suck and then idk what to upload bc i wanna make sure people enjoy the vids! but w that being said if there’s anything you’d like to see (about anything! uchi related or not) i’m more than happy to make give it a shot!☺️
I loved this video! I’m about to start my second year at UChicago and your vlog reminded me of how much I miss Hyde Park. Quick q: what volleyball league do you play in? I tried to find one last year but was pretty unsuccessful.
aw that’s so sweet of you! hope you’ll be back soon to enjoy fall in hyde park!🍁 yes ofc, a few girls and i decided to start up a volleyball club (we’ve actually been trying for the past two years), and we’re really pushing for it to happen this year! the league in the video is from a group based in chicago for rec sports, and my friend from our volleyball club actually works there now! so that league wasn’t a part of uchicago, but we just signed up w our friends on the guys club team to play together. but! if you’re interested in joining the women’s club team, plz message me on facebook or dm me on instagram, and i’ll add you to our group! we get together quite often now to play grass w each other/the guys and would love for you to come play w us!!!
Hi there, I love both the videos on your channel! I have a quick question, does UChicago make students do school work during weekends? Is there classes on Saturday or Sunday? Or are those 2 days for you to relax, like you showed in the video?
hi!! no classes on saturday/sunday, but occasionally during finals season, some TAs/profs hold review sessions over the weekend! most weekends i can at least find some time to relax, but i also study a good amount during those times as they’re a good chance to catch up/get ahead!
do you enjoy doing research at UChicago? how are classes like (size, difficulty, etc.)? are people really competitive? what about programs? do they have good programs for premeds?
yes! i did bio research in the hospital and had a really good experience with both labs. it reeeally depends on the class. core classes/upper level electives are usually smaller, but general education classes can be pretty big! the difficulty unfortunately also depends on the class, happy to answer follow up questions about specific classes if you’d like!:) i’m unsure about premed programs since i wasn’t premed, but i know there are a lot of academic/professional student orgs that are major specific! i think we have a premed club, and i know we definitely have a couple bio-focused clubs. but sorry for not knowing the answer to whether or not there are good premed programs😓 hope this helps a bit!
UChicago is my daughter's dream school. She is currently a high school sophomore. Any suggestions besides studying for SAT and keeping her straight As throughout high school.
hii!:) i’m not sure about the actual percentage (i don’t believe it’s published!) but basing it off of the cs classes i’ve taken, i’m guessing it’s around 1/4 international students!
hey!! first of all, congrats!!!🎉 and regarding volleyball! the only coed volleyball option through the university would probably be IMs (which are super fun!). there’s a men’s club team (the ppl we were playing w in the video) and rn my friends and i are trying to get a women’s club team going! the university is very annoying about club sports if a varsity team already exists for that sport, but we’ll try to make it happen next year (please reach out if you’re interested!!)! and in this video, we’re actually playing in a rec league outside of the university! hope this helps a bit :)
@@stephranaway Thanks so much! I really hope they create a club women’s team but I would love to play coed. Do you think Uchicago does well with athletics? Like the athletic facilities, availability and things like that?
@@stephranaway I was talking about both. I’m not sure I’ll be trying out for the actual team but I know that I want to keep playing and to be able to work out on campus. So that’s great that the facilities are good!
@@stephranaway Hey!!! I know it’s been a few months since I last commented but I’m still hoping to possibly get involved in volleyball IMs. Are you still involved in a rec league or have you created a women’s club team?
:o I'll be a freshman at UChicago this fall and I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you!!
aw congrats!!!🎉 that’s so exciting! hope to see you on campus in the fall!:)
HI CHRITINA 🥺🥺🥺 IM SO EXCITED

@@stephranaway hi steph! thank you so much for the reply! is it possible to message you these questions on your instagram account?
UChicago is my daughter's dream school. She is currently a high school sophomore. Any suggestions besides studying for SAT and keeping her straight As throughout high school.
Maybe have her try writing off the prompts given each year for applicants and learn how to better format ideas, stories, etc..
hiii may i ask if u know what's the percentage of international students in cs major?
hii!:) i’m not sure about the actual percentage (i don’t believe it’s published!) but basing it off of the cs classes i’ve taken, i’m guessing it’s around 1/4 international students!
How do you get into coed volleyball on campus? I’m Class of 2025 and I’m trying to make a decision on Uchicago 😁
hey!! first of all, congrats!!!🎉 and regarding volleyball! the only coed volleyball option through the university would probably be IMs (which are super fun!). there’s a men’s club team (the ppl we were playing w in the video) and rn my friends and i are trying to get a women’s club team going! the university is very annoying about club sports if a varsity team already exists for that sport, but we’ll try to make it happen next year (please reach out if you’re interested!!)! and in this video, we’re actually playing in a rec league outside of the university! hope this helps a bit :)
@@stephranaway Thanks so much! I really hope they create a club women’s team but I would love to play coed. Do you think Uchicago does well with athletics? Like the athletic facilities, availability and things like that?
yes the facilities are amazing! were you wondering specifically about volleyball spaces? or gym spaces in general?
@@stephranaway I was talking about both. I’m not sure I’ll be trying out for the actual team but I know that I want to keep playing and to be able to work out on campus. So that’s great that the facilities are good!
